Ok, it’s official: as of now Wood is only available as a digital release. Along with CDBaby, it’s also available on Itunes, Amazon, and most online stores.

I signed up my first CD “Wood” to be sold digitally. There aren’t too many physical copies left (read: 1) so that’s pretty much the only way it’ll be available from now on.  Currently, it’s only available at CD Baby, but it should start showing up soon in Itunes and other places as well.

So…been a while since I’ve updated this page. I have some new music coming soon, but in the mean time, check out the videos I just uploaded on YouTube. Acoustic goodness for the whole family. Oh, and you cold always subscribe to my channel if you want to keep up to date on future videos…but nobody’s forcing ya ;)

So, after going through Barcelona and Amsterdam, I’m staying in Berlin for a while.  There’s a lot going on here and I’ve been keeping myself busy.  On Saturday I had the chance to do a duet gig with
Randy Murray.  It was a good opportunity to put my solo guitar
chops to the test.  Here are a few pics, along with two from a few
jam sessions I’ve taken a part in.

Well, tuesday was my last day in Buenos Aires.  Here are a few pics from a jam session I took part in over the weekend.

New city, new song.  I’ve only been in Buenos Aires a week, so I’m only starting to discover
this amazing city.

The new song is called ”Dub“ and it’s one I’ve been working on for quite some time.  It’s
sort of like a Bach chorale with a reggae rhythm section grooving behind it…or something
like that.  You can check it out in the music section.

On June 10th I got the chance to play with two local musicians at Thelonious, a jazz club here in Santiago. It’s
always a new and challenging experience to play with new
musicians…especially ones you’ve just met a half-hour
before you get on stage!

In this case I was joined by Julio Denis (drums) and
Esteban (bass; never got his last name…). Thanks to
Thelonious’ owner, Erwin, for giving me the chance to play
and setting everything up. Here are a few pics.

During my first week in Chile I met Cristian Bidart, drummer for Akineton Retard.  It turns out Cristian is a chinchinero. Not only that, he’s one of the lucky few who have learned the tradition without being part of a family of chinchineros.

He invited me to a rehearsal of his group Chinchintirapie, which includes other instruments
and a dance squad.  I tried to record, but all I had was my mp3 player so the quality isn’t
very good.  Here’s a small sample anyways.

The chinchineros are a very important tradition in Chile.  Here’s an interesting article that
talks a bit about their history. You can also see them in action in plenty of You Tube videos.
Here’s a great one.  I don’t know how they manage not to get dizzy.

Hello, and welcome to my new site.  I’ve been in Chile for 3 weeks now, so I have a lot to talk about, but I just wanted to get this thing started for now…
